also is Defiance teasing us?  I picked them after their win last week and then they go out and do this today.  Damn.

Also bad day for my Irish....still ZERO offensive TD's through almost 12 quarters.  Sitting here with Michigan fans who are acting like they won a National Title today.

I honestly don't know what to say   DC was up 13-3 & then lose 17-13!  This may be my saddest day as a DC football alum & we've had some sad moments.  Either Tri-State is muched improved or DC is really that bad.  This is just bad!bad!bad!

Just read the box score & saw there was only 2:30 left in the game while DC had a 13-3 lead.  Again, it is just bad!

I don't know what to say, either, 70_dc_alum. Richard and I listened to the game and it really seemed like DC had the upper hand for awhile. But those 45 yards in penalties during ONE of Tri-State's offensive drives killed us. Then we had a second chance at life with a couple of minutes to go and what would've been the game winning TD was recalled because an O-lineman, who wasn't even in the play because it was on the other side, held someone and the TD got called back. Vetter threw two pics and DC got down to Tri-State's door a couple of times but couldn't seem to get it. Tri-State is young, physical and aggressive but they aren't Franklin or Mount St. Joe. It sux. They've got the talent on the team. The defensive play calling in the second half, particularly the last quarter, didn't seem very aggressive, either.

It's the same thing we all said last year all year long. If DC doesn't start putting up more points, they're gonna get whipped.

PS: It's scary listening to a ballgame with Richard when his team is effing up.

Keep Wheaton's QB in your prayers tonight.  Sounds like there was a problem that developed during their game today.

Reminds you of whats important.

Tri-State has improved quite a bit, for what it's worth.  Still a game I thought DC would (and should) win.

SaintsFan, who gets their first win first: Romeo Crennel or Charlie Weis?

MSJ seemed to play a decent game. They won the TO battle and had a solid day Pounding The Rock. The only concern was their 3rd downs. I believe they only converted 33%. Running the spread can be disasterous to your defense if you can't do better on third down.

I saw the MSJ program that they send to high schools yesterday and it looked like every other MSJ program I have ever seen. After having the recent success they have had, I would think they would spice it up a little bit. Everything is in black and white. Add color and more details. One of the guys at Purcell couldn't believe that A) the program was so small and B) nothing was in color and it wasn't nicer. It's just my opinion that if a HS kid looks at a nice, well-organized, colorful recruitment guide, he will be more out to consider that school. Especially because every other D 3 football team's guide that I have seen looks the same as MSJ's. It may not mean an extra 10-20 recruits, but if you can steal a couple solid football players from TMC or UC (walk-ons), it's worth the extra cost.

Kentucky or Utah comments by anyone?

[dc_has_been]

I agree that Tri-State is a much improved team over the past couple of years, but as mentioned, DC should have won that game.  They are continue to give games away that they should win.  As an alum I'm bias on what my team should do, but this is just becoming annoying not being able to play to their potential. 
I'm just letting out steam at this point & I'll be on board supporting them while conference action begins hopping they can run through the conference games.

Romeo obviously .....I can't believe the Bengals today...and ND yesterday.  Its been a bad weekend for me. 

To recap:  TMC lost, ND was horrible again and Bengals are in trouble in CLEVELAND of all places.

And last night there was a bit of an altercation at the bar.  I can't go into specifics publicly because of possible on going legal ramifications but at the end of it I got hit over the head with a beer bottle...3 staples in my dome.   No I didn't start it...some guy was about to hit my friend and I don't like seeing that.  I'm not usually one of those tough guys at the bar but things happen...

[Adam Sayer]

I am one of those redneck guys. Got my number right?

I am embarrased to be a bengals fan.

And word from Angelo Colosimo (Bengals team Doctor) is that Marvin can't wait to get out of Cincinnati. Can you blame him after this game?

[JacketsFan]

SaintsFAN, sorry to hear about your busted noggin. What happened with Wheaton's QB? I didn't see anything on their website. Was he injured.

Any of you DC guys know why Foos was pulled out of the game for missing a PAT? To date he's been right on the money. He came out of the game and the guy they replaced him with can't kick or punt worth a hoot.

[SaintsFAN]

JacketsFan,

I'm not sure whats going on with the QB from Wheaton...I just know from what one poster has said is a serious situation in as far as he hasn't been able to leave St. Louis and his parents have been arranged to stay somewhere there while he is treated. 

adam,

have your number?  I don't follow you...

embarrassment is not even the word for today's debacle in the Mistake by the Lake.  I can't believe the defense didn't show up and Marvin refused to talk about the defense today after the game. 

[Adam Sayer]

I meant I got your back, just give me a call.

[SaintsFAN]

haha....gotcha.  Well lets just say this...  a friend of mine found a way to take a picture of the guy last night.



By the way, I lost my phone recently and don't have your number in the new one.  PM with it.
